This book concerns the Council of Pisa (1409), a gathering of cardinals and prelates wishing to resolve the Western Schism, the division of the Catholic Church between rival popes. The issue began in 1378 when the cardinals rejected Pope Urban VI and elected Clement VII. Both sides established their own set of cardinals, launching 39 years of conflict and debate over the Church's true leadership. The author provides a close examination of the Council of Pisa, whose mission was to end the controversy by deposing both claimants and electing a single, new pope. The book utilizes primary source material to present a detailed account of the council's deliberations, arguments, and maneuvers, ultimately resulting in the election of Alexander V. This pivotal moment in ecclesiastical history illustrates the struggle for unity and reform within the Church during the late Middle Ages.
